Sword Spirit Commander——
It is a special sacrificial method that takes advantage of the "Xuanyuan Sword Spirit"'s ability to passively protect the emperors of the Great Xia Dynasty, and turns passiveness into activeness.
Want to do this.
The first step is to send a young descendant with royal blood into the Xuanyuan Emperor's Mausoleum.
Let it take the initiative to accept part of the power of the sword spirit based on self-awareness.
This process is extremely dangerous.
The "sword intent" of Daxia Zhenguo's freak was originally full of violent aggression.
Even if they have royal blood in their bodies, if ordinary people want to use this majestic power for their own use, their bodies and consciousness will also be devastated and destroyed by the sword's will.
This set of experience usually takes several years, or even ten years of hard work.
However, as long as we can get through it smoothly, our self-awareness will not collapse and disappear.
Its body will be assimilated by the sword's will, thereby achieving the powerful effect of breakthrough evolution.
No matter how far apart they are, they can exert at least ten percent of the combat power of "Xuanyuan Sword Spirit".
In the end, he became the legendary "Xuanyuan Sword Puppet"——
The person who becomes the "Xuanyuan Sword Puppet" is not fundamentally a night watchman in the traditional sense, but his combat prowess is not inferior to any contemporary peerless master.
at the same time.
Because "Xuanyuan Sword Spirit" will always passively protect the Emperor of Great Xia.
After becoming the "Xuanyuan Sword Puppet", he will be completely controlled and restrained by the contemporary emperor of Daxia.
This kind of extreme control has nothing to do with status, power, or so-called loyalty.
There will not even be a slight change due to the subjective consciousness of the "Xuanyuan Sword Puppet", it is purely from the strange restraint at the biological and genetic level.
in other words--
A person who becomes a "Xuanyuan Sword Puppet" is a puppet with relatively complete consciousness.
And the person who controls the silk thread is the supreme emperor of the Great Xia Empire!
"The opportunity is right in front of you."
Stroll up to the high platform.
Turning to look at the stunned Xuanyuan Qiong, Emperor Yong'an narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Don't you want Lin'er to be free? As long as you are willing to accept the trial of the 'Sword Spirit Commander' and successfully become my "Sword Puppet"..."
His eyes were full of greed.
Xuanyuan Longcheng's tone was slow and he promised: "I promise you to give her the freedom she wants!"
Hear the words.
Xuanyuan Qiong was dumbfounded and was a little undecided for a moment.
"Qiong'er, please don't..."
He shook his head silently.
The regent on the side didn't care so much, and whispered in front of Xuanyuan Longcheng: "Do you know how dangerous the trial of 'Sword Spirit Controller' is? In the past five hundred years, it's not like there are no descendants of the royal family who have gone there." We tried, but almost all of them could not bear the sword aura of the ancestral spirits, and within a year their consciousness collapsed and they became living dead."
There was a pause.
Xuanyuan Zhong gritted his teeth secretly and said seriously: "This is a road of no return full of thorns. Listen to the emperor's uncle, don't be impulsive, you must be calm..."
"Uncle Emperor."
After a brief moment of astonishment.
Xuanyuan Qiong regained her composure and said with a sad smile: "Do you think there is any other way for me to save Lin'er?"
As soon as these words came out.
The regent immediately felt as if something was stuck in his throat, and for a while he could no longer utter a word of advice.
no doubt.
If Xuanyuan Qiong is not willing to sacrifice himself to accept the challenge, Emperor Yong'an will definitely attack Lin'er in order to gain strength.
The choice between the two is already before us.
Accepting the challenge, there may be a glimmer of hope, but if she chooses to retreat and give up, Lin'er will surely die.
"Don't force it."
Slowly he sat back on the dragon chair.
Xuanyuan Longcheng swung his sleeves and pretended to mutter: "Those who enter the imperial mausoleum to accept the trial must be willing. I will not force you. You can choose where to go."
In an instant.
The imperial study fell into silence again.
Everyone, including the regent, held their breath, waiting for the girl in front of them to make a decision.
"Do you mean what you say?"
Clench the corners of your clothes tightly.
Xuanyuan Qiong lowered his head and asked: "As long as I can pass the trial and become your 'sword puppet', you will let Lin'er go and no longer want to take her life."
"certainly."
He glanced at the girl arrogantly.
With a smile on his lips, Xuanyuan Longcheng's eyes were deep and he said coldly: "You have no joke."
For Xuanyuan Longcheng, if he wants to gain personal power, the result is more important than the process.
Rather than taking the risk of refining the "Spirit Boy Saint" on his own, it is better to take the opportunity to make some manipulations and let this unpopular and down-and-out royal family take the risk on his behalf.
Anyway.
Once he becomes the "Sword Chief", Xuanyuan Qiong will become the most obedient weapon in his hand.
If unfortunately it fails, it will be too late to harm the helpless Lin'er again.
anyway.
Xuanyuan Long Chengdu is in an invincible position and can enjoy its success without taking any risks.
"I am willing to..."
Suddenly he took a step forward.
Raising her hand to wipe away the tears on her cheeks, Xuanyuan Qiong had a determined expression and said solemnly: "As long as I can save Lin'er's life, I will go for it even if it means mountains of swords and seas of fire!"
The determined and stubborn voice kept echoing in the imperial study room.
The regent on the side was stunned and wanted to step forward to intervene, but after seeing the sharp eyes of Emperor Yong'an on the high platform, he finally stopped, raised his head and let out a long sigh.
...
The next day.
Located in a mountain range within the imperial city of Hudu.
A large number of Forbidden Palace envoys were dispatched to escort Xuanyuan Qiong all the way to the deserted hill.
Cut his finger in public.
Xuanyuan Qiong had no expression on her face as she dripped blood on the barren yellow sand.
With the ground shaking violently.
The underground imperial tomb of the Daxia Empire suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
The huge mountain range split into two, and a huge door appeared at the end of the canyon.
A strong wind passed by and a heat wave rolled in.
The girl in front of her stood in front of the door. She looked up at the sword-shaped totem representing the Xuanyuan family on the door. She remained silent and didn't know what she was thinking in her heart.
behind him.
The large team of forbidden palace envoys kept a safe distance from Xuanyuan Qiong. The two figures stood side by side at the front of the team, staring directly at the girl's back.
"Your Majesty is interested. In fact, there is no need to send him all the way here. How dare we, the envoys of the Forbidden City, dare to neglect the things His Majesty has told us..."
The first person to break the silence was Li Kuixing, then the head of the Forbidden Palace Envoy.
At this moment, he is only about thirty years old, but he is already in a high position.
"I have quite a connection with this child. Since she is determined to choose this path, I will naturally see her through to the end."
His hands were behind his back.
The regent's eyes were full of melancholy, and he changed the topic and said, "On the other hand, Mr. Li, you have just returned to the imperial court, and you have already been promoted several levels to a very popular minister. I'm afraid your future prospects are limitless."
There was a pause.
The regent pondered: "It is said that the Beigong Muna boy led you here to kill for a time. I wonder how Mr. Li feels about revisiting his old place?"
The words were full of ridicule.
Li Kuixing couldn't help but smile bitterly, shook his head and said: "The past is like a passing cloud. Now Beigong Mu has already settled in Longdu as an official. There is actually no difference from Li's choice."
He bowed his hand.
Li Kuixing said helplessly: "Please, Your Majesty, please don't make fun of Li again."
Close your eyes.
Regent Xuanyuan Zhong took a deep breath and looked at the slightly thin figure not far away. His heart was already filled with despair, and he suddenly lost the mood to continue laughing at the other party.
How can an egg be completed under power? !
As the regent, he was threatened by power, and his experience was exactly the same as that of Li Kuixing.
Rumble...
With a roar sounded.
The door of Daxia Dragon Vein Mausoleum suddenly opened. Looking inside from a distance, it was completely dark and hazy.
"Are you the one who wants to become a sword puppet? 』
A deep and low voice suddenly sounded in everyone's ears.
next moment--
An ancient and sharp aura suddenly spread out from the dark mausoleum.
Including the Prince Regent and Li Kuixing, all the Forbidden Palace envoys swallowed silently at this moment, already feeling inexplicably nervous and uneasy.
His shoulders couldn't help but tremble.
Xuanyuan Qiong breathed rapidly, gritted her teeth and replied: "Xuanyuan Qiong, a descendant of the royal family, see the ancestral spirit..."
"come in. 』
He dropped three words coldly.
In the blink of an eye, the oncoming sense of terror and oppression suddenly dissipated. Daxia Zhenguo's freak "Xuanyuan Sword Spirit" showed no emotion at all. While doing business, he looked extremely cold and ruthless.
He hesitated for a long time.
Xuanyuan Qiong turned to look at the hills in the distance, and looked at the Regent from a distance for a long time.
"Uncle Imperial..."
Bow deeply.
Xuanyuan Qiong bit her lips and murmured to herself: "Thank you for taking care of me all these years. If Qiong'er is lucky enough to survive, she will definitely not forget your great kindness."
Say it.
The girl in front of the door no longer hesitated, gritted her teeth, turned around and walked into the dark mausoleum.
A thud~~
The huge door slammed shut.
"Now is the most critical moment..." Narrowing his eyes, Li Kuixing muttered profoundly.
The words just fell.
But a muffled sound was heard suddenly from inside the mausoleum.
next moment--
The fierce sword energy rises again.
Even if they are isolated from the world, people outside can still feel the terrifying and strong sense of tearing apart.
"The trial has begun."
He raised his eyebrows.
Li Kuixing smoothed his goatee on his chin and said in a deep voice: "If this kid can withstand the first few sword intents, he will really have a chance to become the legendary 'Sword Puppet'."
The regent's expression was solemn, and his forehead was already covered with beads of sweat.
Life and death, success or failure, all depend on this.
This is the path Xuanyuan Qiong has chosen. No matter how hard it is, she must go on it by herself.
Qiang——
The melodious sound of sword chants penetrated the sky.
Golden thunder instantly rose from the mausoleum, raging wildly among the wilderness hills like a storm.
A dozen rays of sword light were launched from the tomb, and the energy fluctuations that escaped were enough to make the Forbidden Palace envoys on the scene feel frightened.
"As expected of Daxia's country freak..."
His eyes were as deep as water.
Li Kui A good thing to exercise your body’s functions.”
"But the premise is..."
There was a pause.
Li Kuixing added: "The other party must be able to withstand this kind of bombardment."
The oncoming strong wind became more and more violent.
The regent was silent, paying attention to every move in the mausoleum with a solemn expression, his heart already in his throat.
He knew that the reason why Li Kuixing and his men stayed here to observe was precisely because they were waiting for the final result.
If Xuanyuan Qiong survives by chance, then the agreement between her and Emperor Yong'an will be effective, and Lin'er's life will be saved.
on the contrary.
Everything will be back to where it started.
After losing the possibility of "Sword Puppet", in order to gain strong personal power, Xuanyuan Longcheng would not hesitate to abandon Xuanyuan Qiong as a chess piece and turn his attention to Lin'er.
In other words.
No matter what the outcome is, Emperor Yong'an of Daxia will remain invincible and will never suffer any losses.
"The last sword intention is coming." Li Kuixing said suddenly.
bass......
I saw dark clouds suddenly covering the sky.
In a blink of an eye.
Golden brilliance suddenly fell from the clouds, but it was a huge sword shadow composed of rays of light, which was inserted into the center of the mausoleum without any bias.
Boom——
The violent energy fluctuations spread in all directions, and everyone couldn't help but raise their hands to cover their faces.
After a while.
All the hustle and bustle stopped on the spot, and after the clouds of sadness dissipated, the wilderness in front of them became calm again.
"Go back, this girl is very nice..."
The sigh of "Xuanyuan Sword Spirit" echoed in his mind.
The regent and Li Kuixing were stunned on the spot, and the voice of the Zhenguo freak continued to ring in their ears.
"With the resilience of her consciousness, she may be able to inherit part of my power fifteen years from now." 』
As soon as these words came out.
Everyone couldn't help but be stunned for a while.
The dust has settled——
No one expected that Xuanyuan Qiong, who seemed so weak, actually withstood the initial trial and gained initial recognition from the town's freaks.
The next thing will naturally be left to time. The accumulation of swordsmanship will one day allow Xuanyuan Qiong's body to evolve and make breakthroughs.
In the end, he transformed into a generation of "sword puppets" with monstrous fighting power.
"The overall situation has been decided."
A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and he saluted the regent beside him.
Li Kuixing said calmly: "Your Majesty, since the matter has come to this, Li will not stay any longer. I will lead the team back to the city so that I can return to His Majesty."
"Congratulations to Your Majesty on my behalf, I finally found a suitable sword..."
Staring coldly at the underground mausoleum in the canyon in the distance.
Large areas of yellow sand piled up in the middle, eventually burying all traces underground.
The regent Xuanyuan Zhong closed his eyes, feeling disheartened, and warned in a deep voice: "From now on, I hope that your majesty will put the welfare of all people in the world first, remember not to waste the government, and hope that it can achieve a glorious success. Hegemony makes the Great Xia Empire prosperous."
There is some emotion in the words.
But Li Kuixing on the side keenly captured other more interesting information.
"My lord, are you leaving the imperial city?" Li Kuixing asked.
"As people grow old, they are no longer useful."
Take a deep breath.
The regent shook his head repeatedly and said expressionlessly: "If I continue to stay in Hudu, I'm afraid many people will have trouble sleeping and eating. Your Majesty is young and promising and can already control the overall situation. Why do you need an old guy like me to point fingers?"
Both inside and outside the words revealed deep helplessness.
Xuanyuan Zhong was already devastated. He hated the overt and secret fighting in the imperial city, and he was even disinterested in the corruption and corruption in the government and the public.
"Your Majesty, where are you going?" Li Kuixing asked tentatively.
"Haha, the world is so big, there is no place you can go."
He brushed his sleeves.
A huge black shadow slowly appeared from behind, and the armed monster "Steel Divine Weapon" slowly rose, and together with the body of the regent, it was suspended in mid-air.
"In short, the further away from Dehudu, the better. I... no, I want to find a small place to live in seclusion. Being an ordinary hunter or blacksmith in Xianyun Yehe is also a good choice."
See this.
Li Kuixing was speechless and immediately bowed respectfully to the regent in mid-air. Without further delay, he turned around and took his subordinates with him.
Walk away.
The clothes all over his body were windless and automatic.
Xuanyuan Zhong looked back at the endless sand dune wilderness. After letting out a long sigh, it turned into a black stream of light and disappeared all the way to the north.
In an instant——
The wilderness became deathly silent again, and except for the howling heat wave and strong wind, there was no trace of any living thing.
Suspended in the void.
Xue Yun witnessed all of Xuanyuan Qiong's memories, and while feeling a little emotional, he also felt sorry for her experience.
"I didn't expect that this girl is quite pitiful..."
Until then.
Xue Yun suddenly realized.
The woman Gongsunsu kidnapped before was not the emperor's concubine at all, but the "spiritual child saint" who had been living in the palace for many years - Lin'er!
He was thinking about it and wanted to get out of the other party's conscious memory.
suddenly.
The wild sand dunes on the ground trembled violently, and the yellow sand in the sky suddenly rose up, reaching the point where it blocked the sky and the sun.
"It's you kid again..."
The golden sword shadow suddenly rose into the sky.
The freak "Xuanyuan Sword Spirit" from Daxia Town suddenly appeared, and its sharp-edged aura crazily came towards Xue Yun's consciousness.
"Have you seen enough? 』
